About Eric

I honestly believe that I can help anyone understand mathematics by demystifying it, leaving no questions unanswered and no concepts misunderstood from the most basic level of "what is a number?" Notice that I did not say that I can help you "get the right answer" which is a service offered by most tutors. Most of the people that I tutor remark "I actually understand what's going on now" or "I didn't realize it was so simple!"

What qualifies me to tutor mathematics, outside of my expert knowledge of the field and its history, are my natural abilities to both communicate effectively with students of all ages and to share my passion for the ideas of mathematics (most people have never met somebody who likes math as much as I, or so they tell me). I was the president of the very active FIU Math Club and have attracted dozens of new students to change their major to math. I am currently a PH.D. student in mathematics at the University of Notre Dame.

So please, let me share with you the secret world of mathematics and open your eyes to the eternal truth and beauty of the patterns we discover!

My work experience includes being a college algebra computer lab assistant from 2010-2012.I've worked between 10-40 hours a week in this position over the two years helping freshmen college algebra students at FIU in a computer-integrated laboratory. This gave me experience tutoring several hundreds of students.

I was also a learning assistant from 2009-2013. I tutor students in intermediate algebra, calculus 1, calculus 2, linear algebra, introduction to advanced math.I honestly believe that I can help anyone understand mathematics by demystifying it, leaving no questions unanswered and no concepts misunderstood from the most basic level of "what is a number?"

"Knowledgeable and patient."

- Jack, Notre Dame, IN on 2/9/14

I needed a tutor for my son in Calculus as he transitioned from high school to college. Eric was an amazing resource with a very flexible schedule. His expertise in mathematics was evident, but his ability to teach what he knew helped my son do very well in the class. I would highly recommend Eric. He's a gem!

"Great experience"

"Math Tutor with Style"

- Stephen, Miami Beach, FL on 6/14/13

Very knowledgeable Math Tutor, you will even learn some history about Math while he teaches! The session flew by, and I learned quite a bit, would recommend to others.

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Linear Algebra

My understanding of linear algebra comes from taking the course at Florida International University as well as 6 other abstract algebra courses above linear algebra. I would say that I know this subject in and out.

Logic

My understanding of Logic comes from taking Mathematical Logic at Florida International University. The course was very deep and theoretical, beginning with predicate calculus and ending with Godel's completeness and incompleteness theorems. I understand this subject very well.
